Assessment Description
The purpose of this assessment is to assess students’ ability to identify and critically evaluate the significance of factors in international external environments by linking in relevant marketing concepts, theories and notions to international market situations.
Assessment Instructions
The Bundaberg Brewed Drinks Company which is located in Bundaberg, Queensland, just recently had a successful entry into the US, South Korea, Germany and China soft drinks markets. Based on this success, the Flemings family are now planning to introduce their iconic ginger beer product in Saudi Arabia and Russia.
Presume that the company has recently hired you as an international marketing consultant. In taking on this role, you were tasked to analyse both countries by using the framework of Hofstede Cultural Dimensions. In conducting this analysis, you must identify which of the countries mentioned above is the most suitable option for further international expansion by considering the similarities and differences, as well as any other competitors servicing these countries. Based on your analysis, you are then required to formulate recommendations on how the Bundaberg Brewed Drinks Company should adjust its marketing mix, including any modifications to the ginger beer product to suit the market.
To deliver your findings, you are required to record a 7 to 8-minute video in which you will present the Flemings family with the results of your analysis. In preparing to record your video, you are to design a set of PowerPoint slides that will serve as visual aids to help you deliver your findings constructively and efficiently.
You must use at least 8 sources of information to support your analysis and recommendations. These may include websites, government publications, industry reports, census data, journal articles, and newspaper articles. These sources should be presented as in-text citations and a reference list at the end of your video – using the Kaplan Harvard Referencing Style. Likewise, you are required to include appendices section at the end of your video that contains photos or screenshots of the Hofstede Cultural Dimensions and screenshots of the competitors that you have found.
